Max, this isn't a tournament that lasts a month or two... so you might have to wait 9 months for your turn, and then play 5 times in a row:smile12:
Wouldn't you like it when you get a chance, become the chip leader in terms of wins, and then watch as another player gets a chance to win the tournament just because they had 5 times more access to games with the "King of the Hill" than you did? Everyone should have the same number of chances, and how they use them should determine the winner.
We could offer all participants n number of chances (the number is the same, for example, 5). Then, if a player has received 5 chances, they go into a waiting group. The tournament continues randomly until everyone has used their chances. The player who has used their chances and surpassed the others in the number of wins becomes the "King of the Hill."
This is just one of the ways to avoid the random selection of a winner. :)
